Potomac Hospital Helistop

Administrative re-designation. The 'closure' noted in some databases refers to the retirement of the old name and identifier after Potomac Hospital was renamed Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center. The physical helipad did not cease operations; it was simply re-registered with the FAA under a new name and the official identifier VG36.

The site is an active and fully operational hospital helipad. It is now officially known as the Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center Heliport (FAA Identifier: VG36). It continues to serve the exact same function, providing essential air ambulance access for what is now a certified Level III Trauma Center. The helipad is located on the hospital campus at 2300 Opitz Blvd, Woodbridge, VA.

As the Potomac Hospital Helistop, the facility was a critical infrastructure component for the hospital and the surrounding Prince William County area. It served as the primary point for air medical services, handling medevac helicopters that transported critically injured or ill patients to the hospital's emergency and trauma services. It played a vital role in the regional emergency medical system, enabling rapid transport for time-sensitive cases like trauma, cardiac events, and strokes.

Not applicable, as the helipad never closed and remains continuously operational. There are no plans for 'reopening' because it is currently active.
